Apparenrly he is Percy Harvin 2.0

Has he had a week since drafted that he hasn't been injured? What is it about OSU players? Campbell, Hooker, Gonzalez and I seem to remember a lineman who never saw the field for us.

Mewhort...but he definitely was on the field for us, for the first 3 years of his career

It may be coincidental, but these Ohio State players are always hurt. I would probably not draft them high in the future. Colts have had little luck with these guys.

I thought he actually had a good game, just needs to hold onto the ball better.  The hand injury may be the cause for those fumbles

I agree.  He looked Super explosive but needed to get control first.   On one play it seemed like his legs moved too fast for his body and he stumbled

Nope quin pitcock.  We lost him post draft cause he was addicted to call of duty...

 

Don't give Tyquan too hard a time, I'm sure a strained Uterus is serious enough to keep Lewis out all but one or two games a year.

hand injury is what I heard..

Lots of guys had hand injuries on the team because not many of them used them very well. Too many drops. Cain is just absolutely disappointing. Probably my biggest disappointment to date this year. Next is Vinny of course.

Yep said this before, and its not just my pure hatred of OSU. Might add Lewis to that list btw.

I said it previously...the Colts have had significant issues with injuries by Ohio State players. It's just frustrating. And I grew up in Ohio, I sure would like Colts Buckeyes to succeed.

 

As for Campbell, if he's wearing Nikes, switch to Adidas, or vice versa. He had all sorts of footing issues. We might have to nickname him "Skates".

 

P.S. Had a buckeye tree right outside our front door. That is one nasty, messy tree, and damn tempting to wing a buckeye at your sisters.

What about Mike Hart?

Then there is Roy Hall....... the one that got away.

Forgot about Mewhort and Lewis, but I was thinking about Pitcock. Don't think he ever took the field for us.

Pitcock played quite a bit for the Colts.  Did not have a history of injuries and was one of the more under-rated dlineman on the Colts when he played, so much so Chad Bratzke was quoted after Pitcock played for a year, stating that if they redid the draft after seeing what Pitcock could do on the field, he would have been a 1st round pick.

    • Any news on the attempted talks with Blackmon?   Worst case scenario:  we don't sign Blackmon, or any other safety FA, miss out on what few guys there are in this very non-deep safety draft, and wind up going into the season with Cross and Thomas as our best two guys.  Ewwww.
    • My follow up is about what you think is the most cost-efficient way to acquire the needed players to make the defense work as designed.    As to your point about risk, I guess... If you think specific DE prospects just aren't that good, that's one thing. I'm definitely against propping up a prospect just because he plays a position of perceived need. But I would think that if the Colts take a DE at #15, they see him as a potential game changing pass rusher, and the expectation is for him to exceed what the guys on the roster have shown so far. No one can know for sure, but that's the nature of the draft.   At corner, I just think that a fundamental reason why the Colts prefer their zone heavy scheme is because it's easier to find corners who can excel at zone coverage. So there's less of a premium on the position in this scheme, and that's by design. I also don't think the top 4-5 corners in this class fit Ballard's preferred profile. (Side point: This is not conventional thinking, but I think the order of importance in this defense is 3T, Edge, Will, FS, then CB. I think the objective is to take away big plays, funnel routes to the middle, and have rangy playmakers at Will and FS who can create turnovers. I'm not saying that's how I would build a defense, but I think that's the intention. Which also influences my thinking on Ballard's preferences in the draft.)    The scheme element doesn't necessarily apply at WR, but I think the value at WR favors taking one on Day 2, and I think Ballard's appetite for second round WRs is well established. I'd be open to drafting a WR at #15, but I don't think the Colts will do it.   So if I was an oddsmaker, I'd favor the Colts going DE or DT at #15, just based on how I think the top of the draft will fall, and the players available. I think most fans prefer corner or WR, mostly because of perceived need, but I don't see that happening. Nothing would shock me, though.
    • Ballard on Free Agency:   “No doubt we looked into free agency in totality,” Ballard said. “I mean, we looked at everybody. It kind of worked out where it ended up being a lot of our own guys, which are all good players.”
    • I know you're joking, but I hope they do sign an older vet for a year.  They young guys have so little experience, they need guidance.  I was hoping it would have been GIlly or Nelson but there's no noise there.  I think Gilmore may be headed back to Carolina.   I'd rather sign a veteran than spend the first pick on a CB.  It's a crap shoot and we haven't had the best luck.  JuJu has yet to prove himself.     I'm not buying the hype on Mitchell until he starts facing NFL talent.  The MAC isn't exactly a hotbed for WRs.
    • I’ll take Ravens or 49rs. either one is fine with me.
